Disclamier: Any of the character you recognise, I do not own. All credit goes to Lionhead studio.
Ok, so, all current chapters have been improved and if you read them, I hope you like the changes I made and please tell me if you did, or if you didn't. So now that I am satisfied with all the previous chapters, we can get on with the story. I am sorry it took such a long time but I have been really busy lately and it's been hard to find the time. However, I will try and make some time :)

Chapter 9: An unexpected visitor
A cold breeze hit Violet's exposed legs as she stepped outside the comfort of her room. Shivering, Violet made her way down the long stairs that lead to the ballroom. Reaver's mansion in Bloodstone was just as big as his mansion in Millfields. If not slightly smaller. The great wooden door stared at her, and she stared back. Violet inhaled a deep breath before slamming open the double doors and made her way into the ballroom.
Violet scanned the crowd and despite there being so many people, she picked out one familiar figure in the crowd that she swore she recognized but Violet shrugged it off. She made her way over to the drinks table. As she picked up a glass and turned back around, she walked straight into a tall and strong figure. The figure stumbled back.
"Ohh, I am sorry," Violet started until she examined the man closer "Ed?" She said edging closer to look at him.
He composed himself once more and looked back up at her and said in the same puzzled voice as she, "Violet? What are you doing here?" He asked.
"I ask you the same question?"
"I came...looking for allies." Ed said scratching his head.
"In Bloodstone?" Violet asked frowning slightly. Violet smiled "Why are you really here?"
"Ok. I was...I was worried about you alright. There, I said it, happy?"
Violet smiled yet again. "Was that so hard?"
Suddenly, a dark shadow loomed over Violet and Ed was gone within seconds. Violet's seaweed eye's looked over her left shoulder.
"I see you are making new friends already." Came Reaver's deep voice.
Violet said nothing.
Reaver took her shoulder's in his strong hands and turned her to face him. He stared at her for a long while before saying "Shall we dance?"
Although it was question, it felt more like a demand to Violet. However, she didn't want to upset him. After all, she need some information from him. Hesitantly, she took his hand and he lead her to the middle of the room.
They danced silently until Reaver got bored and decided to agitate her. Delicately, he slid his gloved hand further down her hip and indeed, he got the reaction he wanted.
"What do you think you are doing you filthy creep." Violet said in a disgusted tone.
Reaver smirked pleased with her reaction and decided to annoy her further by saying "I know you like this my dear." Reaver looked down to her and he saw a couple of blue specs in her green eye's.
Then, just as he was enjoying himself, the front door's to his mansion burst open with such force, that they flew off the hinges and landed to the tile floor with a THUD.
Everyone in the room (including Violet and Reaver) turned to look at the unexpected and assumingly uninvited intruder. Violet looked up to Reaver for an answer but the only thing she found, was shock and disbelief in Reaver's very dark eye's. Then followed his trade mark smirk.
So, who do you think the mysterious intruder is? Find out in the next chapter... :)
